Model 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual Section 11: TSP command reference
2601B-PULSE-901-01A April 2020 11-247
Details
Set the stimulus of any trigger object to the value of this constant to have the trigger object respond to
idle events from this SMU.
Example
trigger.timer[1].stimulus = smua.trigger.IDLE_EVENT_ID
Trigger timer 1 when the SMU returns to the idle layer.

Triggering (on page 6-1)
smua.trigger.initiate()
This function initiates a sweep operation.
Usage
smua.trigger.initiate()
Details
This function causes the SMU to clear the four trigger model event detectors and enter its trigger
model (moves the SMU from the idle state into the arm layer).
To perform source actions during the sweep, before calling this function, it is necessary to configure
and enable one of the following sweep source actions:
• smua.trigger.source.linearY()
• smua.trigger.source.listY()
• smua.trigger.source.logY()
To make measurements during the sweep, you must also configure and enable the measure action
using smua.trigger.measure.Y().
If you run this function more than once without reconfiguring the sweep measurements, the caches
on the configured measurement reading buffers will hold stale data; use the
bufferVar.clearcache() function to remove stale values from the reading buffer cache.
This function initiates an overlapped operation.
Example
Starts a preconfigured sweep and clears the event detectors.
